If an object has two forces acting on it how can the next force equal 0
1 answer:
If the forces are equal and in opposite directions, the net force will equal zero.
Consider a tug-of-war team. If they are pulling with equal forces against each other, the red cloth on the rope will not move.
<em>F = ma </em>
The cloth is not moving, so <em>a = </em>0 and the net force <em>F = </em>0.
